John Stossel nails his analysis of the Supreme Court’s recent defeat of campaign finance reform:
All this is about speech. What campaign finance laws did was hand the power and control back to incumbent politicians and the political parties. The laws left “ordinary citizens” with only one way to make their voices heard: Make a contribution to a candidate or a political party.
Not anymore.
Keep that in mind when you hear the media describing last week’s ruling as a victory for “corporations”. The Supreme Court also empowered ordinary citizens to band together and speak freely.
